Chickenfoot III (Official Videos)

Image
Three And A Half Letters Big Foot Different Devil Chuck Eddy (in Rolling Stone, September 2011) said:- Sammy Hagar, Joe Satriani, Michael Anthony and Chad Smith have no problem finding a groove on Chickenfoot III, the confusingly titled second album by their Cabo Wabo hobby-turned-globe-trotting-alliance. They remember when hard rock meant funky stuff with misogynistic machismo on top - see brontosaurus burgers like "Alright, Alright." But the band plods more than pushes, and while the riffs stick, the songs generally don't. The unemployment report "Three and a Half Letters" and the gas-guzzling road-burner "Big Foot" get by, though: It's hard to hate big-boned butt rock from guys clearly making it because they still love the form.

Sam Harris • Christianity, a cult of Sacrifice • 2011

Sam Harris • Christianity, a cult of Sacrifice • 2011 In a polarized world, a Religionist challenges an Atheist - his traditional foe. Point is 1. Catholic William Lane Craig and atheist Sam Harris are friends and accordingly, their supporters take cue. 2. Will there come a stage when a prominent Ayatollah is able to debate a Rushdie, Harris or Kagan without acrimony? An excerpt from The God Debate II with William Lane Craig debating Sam Harris on moot 'Is the Foundation of Morality Natural or Supernatural?' The exchange was hosted by Notre Dame University in 201. The full (audio) version is posted below:- Excerpt Transcript:- Nine million children die every year before they reach the age of five. Picture an Asian tsunami of the sort we saw in 2004 that killed a quarter of a million people. One of those, every ten days, killing children only under five. Ok, that’s 20, 24,000 children a day, a thousand an hour, 17 or so a minute. That means before I can get to

Sam Harris • The End of Faith • 2005 Transcript:- I’m going to talk about belief, specifically the problem of religious belief, because I happen to think that how we deal with belief, how we criticise, or fail to criticise the beliefs of other human beings at this moment has more to do with the maintenance of civilisation than anything else that is in our power to influence. Our world has been balkanised, as Moses just said, by incompatible religious dogmas; we have Christians against Muslims against Jews. The books themselves make incompatible claims. We have this founding notion that God wrote one of our texts; unfortunately we have many such books on hand. Now, before I launch into my heresy, I want to say upfront that I am going to offend a few people in this room. I know you are very likely a secular bunch; I come from a country to your south that is fast growing as blinkered by religious lunacy as the wilds of Afghanistan, but still I think some people in this room wi

JIMI HENDRIX • Sep 11 1970 • Final Interview Profoundly carefree, ethnically neutral. An amazing piece sensitive Hendrix gave England seven days before his brutal death in the hands of his manager, Mike Jeffries, as quoted by Animals road manager Tappy Wright in his book, Rock Roadie. Conspiracy aside, Hendrix experienced multiple lives in a short span and foresaw the fusion of classical symphony, blues-rock and cocktail lounge-jazz parlayed in contemporary music. As much as he influenced music, he manipulated contemporary speaking as well by splitting infinitives and infusing commonly used verbal tics such as 'you know ' and 'like ' as a parenthesis to qualify expressions like  'in a way' or 'so to speak'. It is musical artistry when a sensitive and apolitical axeman extracts several 'dive bombs' from a Stratocaster while 'fornicating' the instrument on stage and then before setting fire to it, uncynically, telling the

Prologue: The Fox and the Lion • So, when the fox saw the lion for the very first time … he trembled in fear, darted into the woods and hid himself,  “Oh dear, this is too intimidating,  he said in a terrible fluster, “this is much too disquieting!”   • The next day, however, he cautiously came hither but nestled himself in a tuft of grass at a safe distance and watched the movements of this very regal creature. Feeling pleased with the security of distance and locale he said,  “Think I might be able to make it … but just barely.” • Third time's a triumph and the fox is in close proximity with the magnificent beast. In the grip of euphoria you tend to pass the time of day with it. You saturate your mind with it. Analyze it. Break it down. It dissects you ... or, you dissect it with the fervour of an obsession:  "I'll go with thee, cheek by jowl."
